I have 5 running. A 3 year old republic of gamers laptop, a 1 year old macbook pro, a 5 year old headless gaming computer running ubuntu server, a 3 year old gaming shuttle running windows 7, and a 6 month old gaming shuttle running windows 8. I'm sure the mix is messing up my 24 hr average, but I only care about the end result of the project.

As I said in my blog post, I finally got around to overclocking my XFX 7970 by 200MHz, up from 925MHz. I suppose it will be difficult to see performance increase with so many different PCs on my account  ^.^ 

Quick update on the union. I'm still waiting. I got kick back once but Community support told gamespot support to forward all  union related issues to them instead of dropping it in the great bit bucket in the sky. I resubmitted the request last week.

Another quick update off topic.  My counter-strike global offensive server is online again! Yay!

Has to be, but even I don't use a day for units with a base score around 1800. Yours were maybe 20 000 base score.

It could have been a fluke, but I dropped it like a bad habit.

On another note, the union is now ours! Bwahahah! It's alive!

Seems I won't be able to fold much until mid March or so. My room is currently a mess and the PC will be moved soon, though the new desk that I am getting will not be here until mid March :(

Once the temps start to rise again my folding will go down to near zero if not zero. As it is i always keep my window cracked just a bit so that the cool air from outside keeps the room from turning into an oven.

Speaking of temps... I just mentioned in the union forums that I think my video card overheated or it had a bad spot of memory that finally showed itself. Either way, the silly thing is useless for gaming right now. I turned it off in anger. ^.^

Hmm... reminds me of my 9800gx2. I used to use it to fold (a client for each side of the sandwich), soon enough it started having problems. Enough so that my computer would just stay at a black screen when turning it on. It also kept a high pitched noise when the folding client was running. Having the same issue now with my 560ti. Decided to start back folding, however I'm only going to use cpu since my 560ti keeps the same high pitched noise while folding. Don't want to waste another graphics card for free.

Anyone getting some weird units for their GPU? I turned my computer on today for the first time in I don't know how many days. Got a unit with base credit at 1600 points. But also a bonus on it so I will get about 6.9K points for it... and it takes ages to finish. 3min 42 seconds to finish a frame. :? Dunno how long I can be folding now before I have to turn it off again. Still have no desk. :( Hopefully I can have it running long enough to break into top 10 000.

I'm guessing it's sort of a return of the beta units. It's not terrible points though and hopefully we will get the good WU's we used to get. I just got a 2 day WU for my CPU which i hate since my rig is not a 24/7 type so by the time it finishes i get nearly nothing for the time.

I have no idea now that it's already done, but i know i'd get far more credit from the 4-8hr ones on average since i can usually complete them before turning my computer off. With those big ones, sometimes it takes a few days to get them done which hurts.

It's 4 core at 2.67ghz. It was pretty much the best CPU when i built my computer and i could overclock it, but it's just not worth it besides benchmarks.

It's supposed to scale back if you are doing other things with the gpu/cpu. I usually pause it if I want 100% of the gpu/cpu dedicated to my game.

Fixed by updating to 12.2 beta 7 catalyst (I hated to do it) and added client-type : beta to gpu options. I'm anxiously awaiting estimated PPD/TPF stats (still say Unknown after almost 15 minutes.

Well hopefully we can help you... Begin here to download the client. When installing you will be asked if you wish to participate as part of a team and what name you would like to use. There you will type 32721. You may also wish to have a passkey, that way it is more secure tracking of your stats. However that is optional. If you already got it installed. Then click on "configure" and where you see team you can enter a number. Enter 32721 there.

Aww. I finally hit the big 5! Shakes is next! The thing about shakes and me is that I -was- going to be next to hit the mile marker, but my video card crashed. I didn't think I would make it. It was going to take 20 days to hit it and shakes was due to hit it in less time. I fixed my video card and went from 19k/24 to nearly 50k/24 and hit the marker 24 hours before shakes. It reminds me of the race between the tortoise and the hair. I stopped to relax while he kept at it. Then when I realized he was going to beat me, I got back in the race! Only in this story, instead of the winner being a shelled reptile, it is the floppy eared mammal. ^.^

It's like you strapped a rocket on your rig with the numbers you are getting now lol. I know once it gets warmer though my numbers will be going down to zero. No way i'm going to let my computer fight the A/C when it comes down to that. I already keep my window cracked 24/7, but soon that will make things worse lol. Congrats on the 5M though guys.

Also the stupid AMD card started minor glitches again. I couldn't play games with the beta drivers and I can't fold with the stable drivers. So... naturally games win.
